    Unless there was an edge I can't understand how they've not gone for a review there.

  2. Phoenix 36-4published at 38 balls

    Big, big leg before appeal against Eve Jones from Laura Jackson.

    Not out is the decision, they think about going for a review but then opt to continue.

    That was a really odd choice of shot.

    Phoenix are not in a good situation at all.

    Mack c Threlkeld b Jackson 3 (Phoenix 35-4)

    And gone!

    Clear spike on Ultra Edge for third umpire Nigel Llong and the on-field decision is overturned.

    Katie Mack departs.

  6. Umpire reviewpublished at 37 balls

    Big appeal for a caught behind here from Ellie Threlkeld as Katie Mack tries to cut Laura Jackson....

  7. Phoenix 35-3published at 35 balls

    Runs very hard to come by so far for Phoenix.

    Originals going with the slower options and they don't hang around between deliveries either.

    Good pressure.

    A huge swing but she got nowhere near it. Threlkeld had all the time in the world.

    Arlott st Threlkeld b Lamb 4 (Phoenix 31-3)

    Emma Lamb on to bowl and she makes an immediate impact.

    Emily Arlott tries to come down the pitch to hit her over the top, but swings and misses.

    Ellie Threlkeld whips off the bails for the stumping.

  11. Phoenix 31-2published at 30 balls

    Alex Hartley returns for a second set of five balls for the Originals.

    Phoenix continue to find the bowling tough to get away.

    Amy Jones gets a touch fortunate as she edges one just past Ellie Threlkeld's gloves behind the stumps.

    This is not at all the start Phoenix would've wanted after winning the toss. Verma carried India to the T20 World Cup final and she lit the place up on tour in England this summer. But she's not really got started in The Hundred. Tying her down gets her wicket.

    Two big wickets for Originals there and some very impressive bowling.

    Verma c Lee b Jackson 6 (Phoenix 25-2)

    Big, big wicket this for Laura Jackson after a very tight set of five balls.

    Shafali Verma tries to hit her over the infield and is caught by Lizelle Lee at point.

    That's exactly how Sophie Ecclestone should be used in The Hundred. Get her on early, starve the opposition of runs and try to strike.

    Burns c Kaur b Ecclestone 17 (Phoenix 21-1)

    First scalp for the Originals!

    Erin Burns tries to drive Sophie Ecclestone down the pitch but can only find the waiting hands of Harmanpreet Kaur at mid-off.

  18. Phoenix 21-0published at 18 balls

    Erin Burns sweeps once again and this time gets her reward with a four down to fine leg.

  19. Phoenix 16-0published at 16 balls

    Sophie Ecclestone continuing and will bowl 10 with her first set of deliveries.

    Keeps up the same tactic of spearing it into the pads.

    Ecclestone is a tall spinner so she gets extra bounce. It's really hard to play the sweep shot against her.
